I've noticed that using tab completion with git in zsh often causes zsh
to consume 100% of my CPU for around ten minutes before the completion
request completes. The zsh completion commands look rather old:

,----
| % ls -l /usr/share/zsh/4.3.9/functions | egrep git
| -rwxr-x---+ 1 seh Users    618 2008-11-25 19:45 VCS_INFO_detect_git
| -rwxr-x---+ 1 seh Users   2959 2008-11-25 19:45 VCS_INFO_get_data_git
| -rwxr-x---+ 1 seh Users 163034 2008-11-25 19:45 _git

| -rwxr-x---+ 1 seh Users    144 2008-11-25 19:45 run-help-git

Is this the right place to report such a problem in more detail, or do I
need to contact the git mailing list, or maybe the zsh mailing list?
